emember waaaay back in
2016 when I promised GF
mag was going to be even
better this year? Well, I know
it’s been a bit of a wait, but
we hope this guy delivers. From now
on, we’ll be releasing an epic new mag
at the start of each season with everything
you need to survive the months ahead.
And they’ll be ~themed~ to make them
even more special.For our Influencer issue, we
collaborated with the coolest kids in
the business from blogging to music
to modelling. You’ll see exclusives with
our mates Cartia Mallan, Gabriel Conte,
the boys from In Stereo and heaps more.
Our aim is for you to put down your mag
feeling totally inspired to do your thing,
whatever that may be. The one thing our
superstar contributors have in common?
They didn’t have their success handed to
them – they made that sh*t happen.Someone who’s really good at
reminding women what we’re capable
of is Emma Watson. As Beauty and the
Beast’s Belle she is perfectly cast – a
dreamer, book lover and true beauty
herself, she’s also a passionate heroine
who believes there is more out there for
her to conquer. As a UN ambassador
and campaigner for equal rights,
Emma is the epitome of girl power.
Turn to page 14 to read her interview.We also hung out with the cast of the
Dance Academy movie, which is all about
making your dream a reality – and facing
the realities of your dreams. Aussie talent
Xenia Goodwin’s story is just as incredible
as her character’s: a dancer plucked fromobscurity to audition for the series, Xenia
went on to star in the show and ultimately
take on the big screen. She tells us what
that was like on page 26 (and yes, we plied
her cast-mates for ALL the movie secrets).Speaking of being discovered, for the
past few months we’ve run a competition
with Covergirl to find the next big beauty
vloggers. You submitted your vids and
we were overwhelmed with the amount
of supreme beauty knowledge out there.
I still haven’t mastered overlining my lips
(and probs never will TBH), but you guys
KILL it. We’re so excited to reveal the
three gorgeous winners – check them
out on our flip cover!There’s so much more to find inside,
but I’ll leave that to you. Our huge winter
edition comes out at the start of next
season – see you babes then!PS: Tell me what you want to see in GF!
